Title: Edition 30 Pescara's on TDI.
Post by: Munzz on June 12, 2012, 08:47:31 pm: Hi All

Im looking to source a set of Pescara's to fit on my 06 MK5 GT TDI but I'm worried what the stance would be like on the standard spring setup and if I'll have any isuses with fitment.

Has anyone got any photos of a TDI with Pescara's on?

:happy2:

Stance wise you may want to hit with the lowering stick as 20-30mm will not be an issue as the offset is friendly. Nick keano has a set for sale section at the mo but need a furb and tyres so your back up to 1k BBS VZ's are another option as proper 8jx18 offset 44 so will fill your arches miles better HTH :happy2:

Thanks for the response, much appreciated. The stance is my biggest issue as lowering is a no no due to being a regular visitor to some un-even muddy dirt tracks ( :jumpmove: ). I've seen the ones in the for sale section but I'll hold out for now until some others crop up.
